Caerhays Belle is a tricky tree here; it has one of the most beautiful flower of any of those that I grow, but it is really early and a hard freeze in the spring knocks it right out. For description and pic go to http://www.magnoliastore.com/ and hit the Collection tab at the top.

Probably still our favorite large flowering hybrid. M. 'Caerhays Belle' is a hybrid of M. sargentiana 'Robusta' X M. sprengeri 'Diva' crossed and named at Caerhays Castle in Cornwall, England. The large, cup-shaped flowers are the richest pink imaginable. M. 'Caerhays Belle' can grow 3-4' a year into a 30-40' tree. The first flowers can be on an 8' tree.
